My condolences Steve,man you goin' through a lot of crap lately,
hold on to a little bit of the old tough guy you used to be when you
were young and it'll all be good.Sorry for your loss
Sorry for your loss, Steve. Was he in the same area as you or back in N.Y.? Will be thinking about you. Take a deep breath and remember all he taught you. Sorry!
Steve, 15yrs have past, since I lost my Father. Yet, he is within me everyday. If I knew the words of comfort, I would send them to you. Your picture of your Father bears an uncanny similarity to my Father. Here is a pic from 1964, of my Dad and me.
I lost my father 23 years ago and my mother in 1998.
When I was 6 years old my dad took me out into the forest and let me pick a tree for Christmas. Afterwards he bought me a hot spiced apple cider at a big roadside fruit stand. I can still see the snow on the ground.
Steve, I'm so sorry for your loss. Like some of the others said, he will always be with you. In time I hope you can see him in the mirror and hear him in your own voice. He is you and you are him. Take good care, give yourself time to grieve and heal.
I am so sorry for your loss, Steve. Your father was very handsome. I wish you all the comfort and love you could every ask for. You are too sweet a person for all this that has been raining down on you, lately. I wish I could send you a hug.
Stug, my thoughts echo Sat's. It has been 16 years since I lost my father. I cannot count the times I have felt his prescence when I needed him. He will be with now more than ever
I will keep you in my thoughts today
